We cannot foresee every use which may be made
of our heaters.
Check with your local fire safety authority if you have
questions about heaters use.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gasses and
heat producing products for specific uses. Your local
authorities can advise you about these.
Failure to comply with the precations and instructions
provided with this heater can result in death, serious
bodily injury and property loss or damage from
hazards of fire, explosion, burn, asphyxiation, and/or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Only persons who can understand and follow the
instructions should use or service this heater.
This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is
invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorrant is nor-
mally added to help detect leaks and can be described
as a "rotten egg" smell. The odorant can fade over time
so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.
Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane
will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by
ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or
open flames of any kind many feet away from the origin-
al leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor with draw.
Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance
with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58.
Turn off propane when not in use.
